==What Old Testament Prophecy tells of the Messiah revealing the hearts?==

#Messiah would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2)
#Messiah would be born of a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14)
#Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah. (Genesis 49:10)

#Messiah would spend time in Egypt. (Hosea 11:1)
#Messiah would be rejected by his own people. (Psalms 69:8; Isaiah 53:3)
#Messiah would be a prophet. (Deuteronomy 18:15)
#Messiah would be preceded by Elijah, whom he identified as JOHN. (Malachi 4:5-6)
#Messiah would speak in parables. (Psalms 78:2-4; Isaiah 6:9-10)
#Messiah would be praised by little children. (Psalms 110:4)
#Messiah’s price monies would be used to buy a field. (Zechariah 11:12-13)
#Messiah would be crucified with criminals. (Isaiah 53:12)
#Messiah’s bones would not be broken. (Exodus 12:46; Psalms 34:20)
#Messiah would resurrect from the dead. (Psalms 16:10; Psalms 49:15)
#Messiah would ascend to heaven. (Psalms 24:7-10)
